Abstract Purpose of Review Developmental toxicity assessments often focus on structural
outcomes and overlook subtle metabolic differences which occur during the early embryonic …

There is mounting evidence that the ribosome is not a static translation machinery, but a cell-
specific, adaptive system. Ribosomal variations have mostly been studied at the protein …

Induced development of haploid embryos (H) with only paternal (androgenesis) or maternal
(gynogenesis) chromosomes requires irradiation of eggs before fertilization or activation of …

In high-risk environments with frequent predator encounters, efficient antipredator behavior
is key to survival. Parental effects are a powerful mechanism to prepare offspring for co** …

The analysis of larval zebrafish locomotor behavior has emerged as a powerful indicator of
perturbations in the nervous system and is used in many fields of research, including …

The synthetic estrogen 17-α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), a major constituent in contraceptive pills,
is an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) present in the aquatic environment at …

Many post-transcriptional mechanisms operate via mRNA 3′ UTRs to regulate protein
expression, and such controls are crucial for development. We show that homozygous …

Brain pericytes are one of the critical cell types that regulate endothelial barrier function and
activity, thus ensuring adequate blood flow to the brain. The genetic pathways guiding …

In zebrafish, maternally deposited yolk is the source of nutrients for embryogenesis prior to
digestive system maturation. Yolk nutrients are processed and secreted to the growing …

Background It has been proposed that non-genetic inheritance could promote species
fitness. Non-genetic inheritance could allow offspring to benefit from the experience of their …
